Allocated overhead = $43,180

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cost of direct materials used $42,600

Cost of goods manufactured $124,200

Cost of direct labor ($30 per hour) = $76,200

Manufacturing overhead cost is allocated at the rate of $17 per direct labor hour.

Allocated overhead = predetermined overhead rate * actual allocation base

Allocated overhead = 17 * (76200/30) = $43,180
